English term or phrase: what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
i'm wondering if anyone can help me with translating this quote: "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal."

thanks!

Quod pro ceteris atque pro terrarum orbe fecimus, manet et sempiternum est.
Explanation:
The complete sentence would be:

Quod pro nobis tantum fecimus nobiscum moritur; Quod autem pro ceteris atque pro terrarum orbe fecimus, manet et sempiternum est.

"sempiternum" could also be "immortale".
